Colleen Russo
Biography
I have been serving clients in Personal Injury and Social Security Disability related matters for over 23 years. As a senior partner at the Law Offices of Russo & Russo, I have vast experience in dealing with various personal injury cases involving slip and fall accidents, motor vehicle accidents, dog bites, brain injuries, wrongful death accidents, accidents involving children, and all other kinds of injuries suffered by individuals as a result of the negligence of others. I understand the longterm physical and financial consequences that result from these kinds of accidents, and I am fully committed to providing my clients and their families with the knowledge and assistance that will help then navigate through the many issues that can complicate their lives until their injury case is resolved quickly and effectively.
Aside from personal injury matters, I also routinely represent individuals in their attempts to secure Social Security Disability benefits. I take great personal pride in helping my clients regain the respect and dignity they rightfully deserve.
In addition to being a passionate advocate for the injured and disabled, I have also strenuously worked to improve the standard of living for many residents of Pinellas County. The St. Petersburg Times has recognized me as one of the Tampa Bay area's "movers and shakers" who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to the community.
